FAQs
What types of modern aesthetic electrical fixtures do you supply and install in Andersonville?
We carry a curated selection of contemporary pendants, chandeliers, sconces, recessed LEDs, track lighting, and smart-ready fixtures that complement Andersonville’s mix of historic architecture and modern interiors. Our catalog features matte-black, brushed brass, and minimalist glass designs from leading brands, and every fixture we sell can be professionally installed and warrantied by our licensed electricians.
Do I need a permit to replace or add new light fixtures in my Andersonville home?
For most one-for-one fixture replacements, the City of Chicago does not require a permit. However, if the project involves adding new wiring, relocating junction boxes, or significantly increasing the electrical load, a permit and inspection are typically required. Our team will evaluate your project, pull any necessary permits on your behalf, and ensure all work meets Chicago Electrical Code standards.
Can you integrate smart lighting controls with the fixtures you install?
Absolutely. We specialize in smart home–ready fixtures that work with platforms like Lutron Caséta, Leviton Decora Smart, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. We can retrofit existing circuits with smart dimmers or install new low-voltage wiring for advanced systems, giving you app control, voice activation, and energy-use tracking without compromising the fixture’s sleek appearance.
How do modern LED fixtures compare to traditional incandescent or CFL lighting?
Modern LED fixtures use up to 80% less energy than incandescents and last 25–30 times longer, reducing both utility bills and maintenance. They deliver instant full brightness, offer a wide range of color temperatures (from warm 2700 K to daylight 5000 K), and are mercury-free unlike CFLs. Our LED fixtures are also fully dimmable and designed to maintain consistent light quality over their 50,000-hour lifespan.
What is the average cost to update the lighting in a typical Andersonville condo or single-family home?
Costs vary by fixture style and project complexity, but most clients spend $250–$400 per standard fixture for supply and installation, including labor, mounting hardware, and disposal of old units. Custom chandeliers or smart-integrated systems can range from $600 to $2,000 per location. We provide a detailed, itemized quote after an on-site or virtual walkthrough, so you know exactly what to expect before we start.
How quickly can you schedule an installation, and what is your service area?
We can usually schedule standard installations within 3–5 business days. Larger projects requiring permits may take 1–2 weeks to coordinate. While our showroom is in Andersonville, we serve the greater North Side—Edgewater, Uptown, Ravenswood, and Lincoln Square—as well as nearby suburbs. All appointments include punctual arrival, protective floor coverings, and a post-installation cleanup so your space looks as good as your new lighting.
